Since I was poking around with the terrain intersection code anyway
tonight, I made a small modification that allows you to fly under the
bridges, then turn around and land on them lengthwise.
Wow! Thanks. Landing the seahawk on the saratoga

You can't fly between strands ;-) because the whole suspension chain
is made with a solid wall textured with a transparent image. But there
is nothing above the main cables.
I didn't try to fly between the cables. I'm =not= mad!

It might be an idea to add an airport code for the Saratoga. On the

It may help (and also be more realistic) if you put at least thirty knots of

seems to make the ground interesection code very robust.

Ok, I was going to add the following in my previous message and
forgot.
Pick your favorite non-huge aircraft and run:
fgfs --aircraft=yf23-yasim --lat=37.7745 --lon=-122.4005 --heading=40
This should put you pretty much pointing at the entrance to the bay
bridge so you can try it out.

Here's a simple command-line to start lined up for takeoff on the Saratoga
aircraft carrier:
fgfs --lon=-122.575412 --lat=37.726849
Unfortunately, all is not happy. A full-speed takeoff results in strange
problems, so try a slow taxi to the ramp (say, 1000 rpm). The nosewheel

I managed to land on the top deck, still over the land on the approach to the bridge.
Then, with no rudder pedals and typically poor coordination floated gently off the

Forgive my ignorance on flightgear but wouldn't it be 'nice' to record a
